AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the angular velocity of a rod moving in the x-y plane, with one end at the origin and given velocities for both ends. The rod's length is 2m, and it makes a 30-degree angle with the x-axis. Key calculations involve determining the magnitude of angular velocity, the vertical component of velocity (v_y), and the velocity component of the center of mass perpendicular to the rod. The problem requires showing attempts at solving these calculations to understand the relationships between the rod's movement and its angular velocity. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving similar physics problems.

Homework Statement



A rod AB of length 2m moves in horizontal x-y plane. at any instant end A of rod is at origin and has velocity v_a =2i +v_y j. the other end B at the same instant is moving with velocity v_b = 2i +6j. the rod makes an angle of 30 degrees with the x-axis at this instant. find:

1. the magnitude of angular velocity of the rod.

2. value of v_y .

3. the component of velocity of cetre of mass in the direction perpendicular to the rod at given instant.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
